Pope sends direct message to Ben

[Ben Kenobi]

He's saying that Ben doesn't love the sinner when he says those words

No. What he's saying is that he rejects the notion that homosexuality is in fact, sinful. That is why he takes offense to the statement, "love the sinner, hate the sin", because that implies that homosexual actions are intrinsically sinful.

[Ben Kenobi]

he spews hate everywhere he goes

We're you the one who just accused me of being gay? Curious, the only one who hates gay people accusing other people of hating gay people.

Nope, Imran was correct. I don't believe homosexuality is sinful but then again I don't believe in the concept of sin so it's a meaningless argument for me. I actually have a lot of respect for people who can disagree with something and still treat those people with love and respect however.

We're you the one who just accused me of being gay? Curious, the only one who hates gay people accusing other people of hating gay people.

Why would I hate gay people? Some of them are great, some of them are *******s. Obvious really, because they're just people like everyone else.

I just happen to suspect that you're a closet gay. Purely on the grounds that you spend so much time thinking and talking about it, that it's the only answer that makes any actual sense. Free yourself Ben! Run wild, run gay run free!

[Ben Kenobi]

Why would I hate gay people?

Why else accuse someone of being gay? If you truly believe that there's nothing wrong with it there's no point. Heck FUN even called you out here.

you spend so much time thinking and talking about it

Uh, didn't you directly call me out and ask if I believed something? Now you're arguing I'm gay because I responded and gave you a honest answer?

Curious Kentonio.

Why would it be an accusation? I think you're just showing your homophobia again.

Heck FUN even called you out here.

What in the name of **** are you actually talking about? MrFun hasn't posted in this thread since I politely suggested that you should free yourself of your inner turmoil and just embrace your gayness. It's not a bad thing (except that then gay people might have to deal with you being in the same demographic as them, which I understand can be painful).

I guess BK can't say the Pope is wrong so he just puts his fingers in his ears.

[Kidlicious]

That's kentonio's point in that quoted part actually. He's saying that Ben doesn't love the sinner when he says those words. Pope Francis, however, shows that he does love the sinners, even if he is against their sinful actions.

When he answers questions with questions?

[Ben Kenobi]

the Pope is wrong

Where did the Pope say this? That's the point. If I say, "the pope said this", then I'd better have a quotation from him.

[Imran Siddiqui]

When he answers questions with questions?

Like Socrates

(or, you know... Jesus sometimes)

[Kidlicious]

Kentonio is obviously homophobic. Ok, BK plus 1. That makes 1.

[Ben Kenobi]

Why would it be an accusation?

Backpedalling again.

It's the standard manual. Accuse everyone who states that homosexuality is sinful to be gay, rinse repeat.

Don't you tire of the same old playbook. Running it up the gut isn't going to save you.

What in the name of **** are you actually talking about? MrFun hasn't posted

Fun posted in the other thread, and asked you not to do this. Odd that, Kentonio ignoring facts when it suits him.

Fun at least gets that attacking people and accusing them of being gay is a terrible argument.

I suggest if you have any actual content that you advance an argument that's not simply YOUR GHEY!!11!!1!

Please. It's boring. Yes, we get it. You think I'm gay. Fascinating.

Suggesting that someone is gay is not an accusation, because there's nothing wrong with being gay. It's not complicated, please try and keep up.

No he didn't, I called you a piece of trash and he said I shouldn't insult trash by comparing it to you. Did you really think he was defending you?!

[Kidlicious]

Like Socrates

(or, you know... Jesus sometimes)

When someone asks if they are sinning, and the Pope answers like that there is a problem. He's not Socrates or Jesus.

[kentonio]

Kentonio is obviously homophobic.

I'm homophobic because I think that gay people are just people like everyone else? O....k....

[Ben Kenobi]

No he didn't, I called you a piece of trash and he said I shouldn't insult trash by comparing it to you

Hmm, do you think he appreciates you using gay as a slur? I thought we've all moved past that line of thinking. Perhaps one day the British will catch up.

because there's nothing wrong with being gay

Mhmm. Sure, which is why you're accusing me of being gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
